Under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 (WT Act 2006), all use of radio must be either licensed or specifically exempted from licensing.

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/36/contents

Private Mobile Radio (PMR) is exempt from telegraphy licensing by Ofcom because use of PMR compliant equipment is not likely to involve any undue interference to other legitimate use of radio spectrum.

It is a criminal offence to use or install wireless telegraphy apparatus, unless under and in accordance with the terms, provisions and limitations set out in a licence or licence exemption regulations, section 8 and 35 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006.
